Chaos Again Revisited

Written by: Eris, Goddess of Chaos
Date: Thursday, May 6th, 1999
Addressed to: Everyone


Almost as though a seasonal occurrence, there inevitably comes a time when mortals seek to understand Chaos and make some rather awkward, misinformed and completely frivolous statements regarding my Realm. The study of Chaos does not lend itself easily to frivolous armchair philosophers who do nothing more than postulate that Chaos is the opposite of order (when in fact the opposite is the case), or that murder and death are synonymous or somehow tangentially aligned with Chaos.

Very few indeed actually devote their lives to Chaos and even fewer approach an understanding of that which leads to enlightenment. If you wish to begin to gain an understanding of Chaos, I suggest you visit the Erisian Pyramid where many mysteries are hidden for those who have the eyes to see.

Until then, go to beach and lay in the sand. You will feel Chaos. Drink deeply from the tavern spirits or eat heartily from the lotus blossoms and cactus flowers. You will taste Chaos. Swim deep into the ocean's depths and open your eyes. You will see Chaos. Wander into a well-stocked kitchen and open all the spices. You will smell Chaos. Listen to a child play with an imaginary friend. You will hear Chaos. Make a decision to not make decisions or walk knowingly into that which is not known or let go of that which cannot be gotten rid of. Then you will be Chaos.
